I recently became aware of a Korean restaurant here in Toronto called
Swish by Han
that has an item on the menu that immediately caught my attention, a pear kimchi salad with blue cheese. I am a big fan of
kimchi
, but I had never even thought about making a kimchi with something like pears but I could just image how good a sweet and spicy pear kimchi would be. I went with a slightly modified version of my normal
kimchi
recipe which has an amazing combination of savoury flavours. Where the
cabbage kimchi
recipe calls for letting the
kimchi
sit out a room temperature for a few days to kick start the fermentation process I only let this pear kimchi sit for a half a day let the flavours come out and then I chilled it before serving it. The pear kimchi was a great success! Sweet pears go really well in in a spicy kimchi sauce and I could hardly resist eating it all with a spoon even before trying it in the salad as planned!

This sounds wonderful as always Kevin. New kimchi idea for you....Deviled Eggs with Kimchi, Bacon and Mint. Sounds odd but really, really good. And you've inspired me to make my own instead of buying at PAT.

Your recipe are always so brilliant...you are a genius...And I love your use of leftovers and the fact that you use the same ingredient for different recipes...and they are always so rich and tasty as I like...thanks for sharing this

Awesome. I just made Kimchi for the first time and I also have 2 boxes of Seckel Pears. I had an insiration to make pear Kimchi to. I went online to find some one else has thought of that. So cool. Now I know I can make Pear Kimchi. Thanks.

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
